Juventus recently sold Leonardo Bonucci to AC Milan and are looking to bring in another central defender and Mangala is on their list.
According to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato, Juventus have now made contacts with agents working on behalf of Mangala to take soundings over taking the defender to Italy.
Juventus want to find out whether Mangala wants the move, how much he might ask in wages and what price Manchester City are looking for.
